Alternating Current

Question
CBSEENPH12039438

A device X is connected across an ac source of voltage V=V0sin ωt. The current through X is given as I - I0sin ωt + π2

  1. Identify the device X and write the expression for its reactance.
  2. Draw graphs showing a variation of voltage and current with time over one cycle ac, for X.
  3. How does the reactance of the device X vary with the frequency of the ac? Show this variation graphically.
  4. Draw the phasor diagram for the device X.

Solution
  1. Device: X-capacitor
    Xc = 12πfC
  2. Xc  1f
  3. phasor diagram
